Convenient synthesis and purification of [Bu4N](2)[Ru(4-carboxy-4-carboxylate-2,2 '-bipyridine)(2)(NCS)(2)]: a landmark DSC dye

Rawling Tristan; Buchholz Florian; Mcdonagh Andrew (CSIRO, 2008)

We present here a convenient synthesis of the landmark dye-sensitized solar cell dye [Bu4N](2)[Ru(4-carboxy-4-carboxylate-2,2'-bipyridine)(2)(NCS)(2)] (N719). Key to this synthetic procedure is the protection of the carboxyl ...
Ruthenium Phthalocyanine-Bipyridyl Dyads as Sensitisers for Dye-Sensitised Solar Cells: Dye Coverage versus Molecular Efficiency

Rawling Tristan; Austin Christine; Buchholz Florian; Colbran Stephen; Mcdonagh Andrew (Amer Chemical Soc, 2009)

The application of ruthenium phthalocyanine complexes as sensitizing dyes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) is explored. Four monomeric complexes are reported which vary in peripheral substitution and axial ligand ...
